Topic: glass manufacturers makers marks (Read 3163 times)

I recently saw an ad for a pair of vases with the moulded France 81 underneath. I have this ame pair of cut glass vases only mine have France 3 and France 19 respectively. I have been looking fro French glass manufacuters whose work resembles mine( the closest being the vases made by Val Sanit Lambert however how can I authenticate their origin.

dear Pete and Adam,thanks for the prompt reply. My vases are exactly the same as those on the decodame websitewww.decodame.com/decorativearts/glass_crystal.htmhowever mine seem to be number 3 and 19 as opposed to 81regards,janine

I not only find the prices disturbing( although I suppose price is so subjective) but as a recent collector I find the misleading information a nuisance. Part of the joy of collecting is not just obtaining an object but with the whole history that surrounds a particular item, the company history, designer and the influences on them all make the item more precious and worthy of keeping. I'm very pleased to have discovered this site. Thanks for your generosity in sharing information.regards,Janine
